Rep. Weldon (R-PA) Flip Flops on 9/11 & Atta

Last week, Curt Weldon said a data gathering exercise called Able Danger-(read Booman's take on this group, Weldon & all the lies being told this week) spotted Mohammed Atta and other hijackers in '99, but Pentagon lawyers in Sept 2000 blocked officials running the program from handing the tip to the FBI. Weldon further alleged that the 9/11 Commission was alerted to the alleged oversight but ignored it. In Weldon’s book, Countdown to Terror, Weldon describes personally handing to then-Deputy Nat'l Security Adviser Steve Hadley ( just after 9/11) an Able Danger chart produced in '99 identifying Atta but now this week when talking to TIME, Weldon says this: "But Weldon told TIME he’s no longer certain Atta’s name was on that original document. The congressman says he handed Hadley his only copy." How convenient, huh? Let me guess, this is yet another GOP flip flop and we are supposed to just blindly accept whatever spin is put upon it, except for the fact that nat'l security issues this important should check out.
